In our daily lives we use many products to help us go through the day. Although, we don’t always think about where these products come from and how they were produced. Most products sold in stores, effective or not, have been tested on animals. From medicine to shampoo and makeup, the lives of many animals have been taken away. It’s not acceptable for animals to be used for cosmetic or medical testing. It’s very cruel, it’s wasteful and it’s unreliable.

Many people are against animal cruelty but they don’t say anything when it comes to the cruelty done to animals in scientific labs. Animals are being cut open, shot with needles and covered in products. This is such terrible cruelty towards animals because they can feel too. Animals and humans share similar mechanisms of pain detection, have similar areas of the brain involved in processing pain and show similar pain behaviours. They feel it when they’re cut or shot with needles and it’s cruel to make animals go through that pain. Also, when we keep animals in cages for a long amount of time, it affects them mentally. It’s barbarous to keep them locked up and make them go crazy. For example, Tina Evangelista-Eppenstein, former animal shelter worker, saw many dogs go cage-crazy. Animals locked up for months start to act out in their cage. One black dog, in particular, comes to her mind. She would watch him as he bounced from one wall to the other in a circular motion all day. He bloodied himself in the process. She tried to walk him and he continually walked in circles around her and he couldn’t stop. Humans wouldn’t allow this to be done to each other. It’s considered as human abuse to test products on them without their approval. Yet, when it’s done to animals it’s okay. This is a cruel gesture to animals because they can’t speak to say no. They’re being forced to allow scientists do deadly things to them. However, cruelty isn’t the only reason...
